Virtual play therapy capitalizes on children's deep connections with digital content, enabling therapists to access valuable insights otherwise missed in traditional settings. While some physical experiences in therapy may be overlooked, innovative strategies can help address this gap. By understanding children's reliance on screens, clinicians can leverage these digital experiences to foster therapeutic conversations and interventions, ultimately proving that virtual therapy can be just as beneficial as in-person sessions.
Virtual play therapy can offer powerful benefits to children, particularly in a world that is already tech-integrated.
In virtual play therapy, therapists can observe and explore these connections, including over-identification with characters or themes from TV shows, games, or social media.
Digital childhoods are here to stay, which raises an important question for clinicians and caregivers about screen time in therapy.
The connections children form with digital content can become valuable therapeutic tools that were overlooked in traditional therapy settings.
